Sonya Burke

Sonya Burke has over twenty years fundraising experience. The first decade of her career was spent managing Individual Giving functions in her native market, the UK. She then devoted herself to fundraising on other markets, undertaking senior national positions or international support roles for Médecins Sans Frontières and Save the Children and Amnesty International in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. In this time she launched Individual Giving programmes in a diverse range of markets from Colombia, Taiwan and S.Africa.

She then returned to London to be Amnesty International’s Global Head of Individual Giving. Sonya has been consulting since 2019, helping mostly international organisations to develop the right strategy, structure, capacities, and culture to bring about national or global growth. Sonya loves travelling and learning languages but finds the reality is, when she is not at her desk, she is in the park exercising or doing the school run!
